Problem
Businesses often rely on multiple separate vendors for messaging, email, and voice, leading to fragmented workflows, complex integrations, and high platform fees. Managing different APIs, billing systems, and compliance requirements across channels creates significant operational overhead and makes it difficult to scale communication efforts efficiently.
Solution
Zavu provides a single, unified API that connects to all major communication channels, including WhatsApp, SMS, email, voice, Telegram, Instagram, and Messenger. The platform handles the underlying infrastructure, offering real phone numbers, routing, and compliance, so developers can build and deploy AI agents and messaging workflows without managing multiple vendors. Zavu includes a developer-friendly SDK, MCP support for AI agents, and a built-in LLM proxy, enabling rapid deployment and integration. With a focus on cost transparency, Zavu offers a pricing model that can reduce platform fees by up to 92% compared to traditional providers, with a free plan and a $20/month Pro tier that includes a $20 usage credit.
